About finding a gardener or landscaper in London

London's private gardens are among the most productive in Britain per square metre. The capital's mild urban microclimate — London sits in a frost-free zone for much of the year — allows a wider range of plants to thrive than almost anywhere else in the UK. Yet London gardens also face distinctive challenges: clay-heavy soil in South and West London, sand and gravel soils in North and East London, tree root intrusion, and the relentless competition for light in densely terraced streets.

Hard landscaping is increasingly popular as London homeowners look to maximise outdoor living space. Porcelain paving, composite decking, raised vegetable beds and garden studios have all become major projects in their own right — often requiring planning input and structural knowledge in addition to horticultural skill. The garden room boom has brought landscapers and builders closer together, with many now offering integrated services covering the full garden build.

When hiring a gardener or landscaper in London, check for RHS qualifications for design and planting work, and confirm that they hold a waste carrier licence if they will be removing garden waste (required by law in the UK). For any hard landscaping project over £2,000, get a written contract specifying materials, depth of sub-base, drainage provision and completion dates. GetQuickHelp connects you with experienced, insured gardeners and landscapers across all London boroughs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions — London gardeners

How much does a gardener cost in London?+
London gardeners typically charge £25–£45 per hour. A regular half-day maintenance visit costs £80–£150. A one-off garden tidy runs £150–£400 depending on size. Full garden clearances cost £300–£800. Hard landscaping is priced per job — patio installation runs £80–£150 per m², decking £100–£200 per m².
What is the difference between a gardener and a landscaper in London?+
A gardener typically handles ongoing maintenance — mowing, pruning, weeding, hedge trimming, and seasonal planting. A landscaper focuses on building and designing — patios, turfing, raised beds, decking, fencing, and retaining walls. Many London professionals cover both disciplines and can offer a complete garden service from design to ongoing maintenance.
How do I find a reliable gardener in London?+
Post your job free on GetQuickHelp — local gardeners and landscapers covering your area will contact you directly. For design and planting work, look for RHS-qualified professionals. Always check that any gardener removing garden waste holds a waste carrier licence (required by law in the UK), and confirm they carry public liability insurance.
How often should I have my London garden maintained?+
Most London gardens benefit from fortnightly maintenance visits from April through October, and monthly visits from November through March. Small, low-maintenance gardens — paved courtyards or gardens with mostly evergreen planting — can be managed with monthly visits year-round. Gardens with lawns, mixed borders, and hedges typically need more frequent attention during the growing season.
Do I need planning permission for garden landscaping in London?+
Not usually. Patios, most decking, and standard garden works are permitted development in most London boroughs. However, if you live in a conservation area, planning permission may be needed for fencing over 1m fronting a highway or for decking raised more than 30cm above ground level. Always check with your local council if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building before starting hard landscaping work.
